Electromechanical systems are increasingly central to todays world.
This multidisciplinary field will only become more important in meeting the needs of our future society.
Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation and hybrid vehicles to aircraft design and satellite technology.
Here at Edinburgh, we have particular specialisms in:
* carbon capture
* materials science and engineering (including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice)
* engineering at the interface with biology an...
Electromechanical systems are increasingly central to todays world.<br/><br/>This multidisciplinary field will only become more important in meeting the needs of our future society.<br/><br/>Electromechanical engineers work on everything from energy generation and hybrid vehicles to aircraft design and satellite technology.<br/><br/>Here at Edinburgh, we have particular specialisms in:<br/><br/><br/>* carbon capture <br/><br/><br/>* materials science and engineering (including polymers and the mechanics of snow and ice) <br/><br/><br/>* engineering at the interface with biology and medicine<br/><br/><br/>We also have strengths in renewable energy, including marine energy. This was pioneered here by Professor Stephen Salter, inventor of the Salter’s Duck in the 1970s.<br/><br/>Our world-class research activities strongly enhance our teaching.<br/><br/>As a student, you will have opportunities to carry out research projects in the diverse areas outlined above.<br/><br/>**Ties to industry**<br/><br/>Our Industrial Liaison Board includes senior representatives from important industrial companies.<br/><br/>This has a strong influence on our curriculum and programme development.<br/><br/>**Why Edinburgh?**<br/><br/>You’ll benefit from research-led teaching by internationally leading academics.<br/><br/>We have strong links to industry (particularly in microelectronics) with excellent career prospects, industry relevant curriculum, internships, opportunity of final year project placements.<br/><br/>You’ll benefit from a balanced curriculum theoretical & practical skills and individual & group work.<br/><br/>You’ll have access to state-of-the-art laboratory facilities including:<br/><br/><br/>* industry standard software & hardware<br/><br/><br/>* in-person and remote labs<br/><br/><br/>All our degrees are accredited by Institution of Engineering & Technology.<br/><br/>This degree gives you the flexibility to study specialist courses in areas you are most interested in. <br/><br/>**Our community**<br/><br/>We are proud of the supportive community that our students and academics create.<br/><br/>Edinburgh has a particularly active community and network of companies in fields related to electrical and mechanical engineering, which are deliberately located here, close to the talent of our graduates.
